even a barack obama wins, we do not want everyone to be -- well, he will take care of it. that is what happened four years ago. what we want is for no matter who wins and no matter who is in the senate or house, we want to put the fossil fuel industry front and center and put real pressure on them in. we're going to try to launch a divestment movement that looks like the one around south africa a quarter-century ago. we will be bringing home the math i described. a piece in "rolling stone" with a viral, explaining the fossil fuel industry already has five times more carbon in its inventory and even the most conservative government thinks would be safe to burn. every day they go out looking for more. this is a rogue industry now. if sandy is a road storm, then exxon is a rogue industry. in their inventory alone, they have more than 7% of the carbon necessary to take us past two degrees. there are out lost out against the state, but laws of physics. you begin to see the results of that when you look around events like today's. >> bill mckibben, thank you for being with us pr

obama takes the same stand. he also insists that any agreement must exclude israel. and even must exclude calls for other nations, meaning the u.s., to provide information about israeli nuclear activities. the united states and israel can allay regional peace indefinitely. they have been doing that for 35 years on israel-palestine, a virtual international isolation. it is a longer important story that i do not have time to go into. therefore, there is no hope for an easy way to end with the west regards as the most severe current crisis. and in no way, unless there is large-scale public pressure. but there cannot be large-scale public pressure and the people at least know about it. and the media have done a stellar job in averting that danger. nothing recorded about the conference or about any of the background. no discussion, apart from specialist arms control journals where you can read about it. so that blocks the easy way to end the worst existing crisis, unless people somehow find a way to break through this. >> mit professor noam chomsky spoke on september 27 o
